BALlNG-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent NO. 628,452, dated J'uly11, 1899. Application filed November 12 1892. $erial No. 451,805. (Nomodel.) I

To all whom zit may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Loudonville, in the county'ofAlbany and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Baling-Presses; and I hereby declare the followingto bea full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and tothe letters of reference marked thereon. I y The present inventionrelates to improvements in that class of baling-presses known ascontinuous presses, for which Letters Patent were granted to me October29, 187 2,

Nos. 132,566 and 132,639, and has for its ohject to provide an improvedconstruction of the frame and means for supporting and attaching thebearings and supports for the power mechanism, particularly ofbelt-driven presses, to which ends it consists in certain novel detailsof construction and combinations and arrangements of parts,,all as willbe now described, and pointed out particularly in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof a press embodying my present invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan of thepower end with the feeder and inside mechanism removed. I Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section through the power end.

Fig. 4 is a perspective of the box-frame andbe provided with flanges andriveted to the side plates, as shown, or the side plates may be flangedinward and their meeting edges riveted together. .Thus with the angularflanged edges provided at the sidesand the rigid connection formed bythe head B the extended power sides of the steel case A are rendered sorigid that the ordinary cast frame to support the fulcrum of the powermechanism A head B I may. be dispensed with and the power fulcrumeddirectly to the steel sides of the case without danger of distort-ion orspringing.

I attach to each of the steel sides a plate. f, secured firmly theretoand from which project inwardly fulcrum hearings or journals F, on whichthe'crank' or power wheels are journaled and connectedwith the traverserin the usual manner. T

The bale-chamber, feeder, and power mechanism are similar, to thoseheretofore. used and need no specific description.

Above the body of thepress and supported on intermediate pillow-blocksor timbers C, resting on the angular .flanges a of the sides A, isan-iron orsteel box-frame D, the whole being firmly bolted in place bythrough-bolts d. Journal-boxes D of usual construction are formed inv oron this box-frame D for the reception of the belt and gear wheel shaftsG G, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. By this arrangement a light rigidstructure is provided in which the hind, out, and Wear resulting in thisclass of machines as heretofore constructed are avoided and the noiseand vibration and shock of the gearing are greatly diminished by theintermediate pillow-blocks of wood, the latter, in effect, formingcushions to 7 hold the bearings at the proper elevation and deaden thenoise from the whole machinery .at the power end.

Thehopper II ismounted over the feedopening and is constructed withsheet-steel sides supported by suitable framing. The frame I foroperating the condensing-head is located, as usual, about midway of theheight of the hopper, and'in, order to provide firm wide bearings forsaid frame the sheet-steel sides of the hopper are provided with centrallongitudinal outwardly-projecting flanges it, between which the frame isreceived and is free to slide. This construction not onlymakes thehopper more rigid, but entirely dispenses with the necessity ofproviding separate bearings forthe frame, as has been found necessaryheretofore.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isr 1. In abaling-press the combination with the press-case formed with sheet-metalsides flanged at the upper edges, of the pillowblooks 0 supported onsaid flanges and arranged longitudinally of the press-case, the postssupporting said sheet'nietal sides and oppositely disposed and rigidly-'eonnected recessed for the reception of said flanges and blocks Dsupported on the pillow-blocks, the bolts uniting the blocks D and thepress-case passing through the pillow-blocks, the power mechanismjournaled in said blocks and the traverser driven thereby workin gin thepresscase; substantially as described.

2. The combination with the press-case of a condensing-hopper formedwith sheet-metal sides having centrally-arranged flanges extending atright angles to the sides, vertical a condenser-frame sliding in thespace between the flanges whereby said flanges form bearings for thecondenser-frame and said frame is supported out of alinement with theinternal space of the hopper; substantially as described.
